Gary[/QUOTE]

No the color is Wrong for Ziricote but I have to admit the spider webbing looks like Ziricote. It has got to be a Supper strain of BRW, found only on the planet Zootillia in the 2-Kol galaxy

I am going to take a wild guess and say it ia some very high figured Madagascar. I still think it looks like the best set of BRW I have ever seen.

   If you had 1000more sets of that, you most likely not be taking any vacations for some time.

   Nice wood, looks like Brazilian to me, but the color could take it in a couple other directions.

Must be Braziricote
I think Steve has gone back to his vacation to look for more and he's gonna leave us hanging on this one.

I'm willing to bet a whole sack of potatoes that it is Brazilian Rosewood.

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.......................
Dennis is correct, that's Brazilian Rosewood.
Ziricote will have more of a greenish look to it.
I'm not trying to show off so please don't take it that way. I'm just a bonified woodaholic and I like sharing/seeing pictures of exotic woods.

You know, to an Irishman like me, betting a sack of potatoes is more valuable than betting a pot of gold. You can't eat gold!
